For B, Bonus1: Iterate from 1 and for every number n whose sum of digits is less than 10, answer is concatenation of n and 10 - sum(n). This is 10 times faster than mentioned brute-force.

      Binary Search + DP. We binary search over the answer and for a fixed ans we check how many numbers smaller or equal to this has digit-sum 10 using DP. And whether that is grater, equal or smaller than given k.

      My Solution. We would have to use Bigint and larger constraints for the DP for it to work for k upto 10^18.

        Actually, you don't need to use binary search. http://codeforces.com/contest/919/submission/34803226 The complexity is O(number of digits in answer * 10) for computing the table ignoring the need to use BigInt.

            dp[i][s] = number of numbers with i digits (leading 0-s counts) and sum of digits s

            Every possible number [i][s] is a path from [i][s] to [0][0]. So you start looking at some number of digits and the sum you want. Try putting a 0 in the last position. dp[i — 1][s — 0] is the number of such numbers. If that's lesser than the n that you are looking for, you know that the number you want has some number greater than 0 in this position, so you exclude the numbers that have the same prefix and 0 in this position (n -= dp[i — 1][s — 0]) and try it for 1. Keep on trying for all the next digits 0 <= j <= 9 until n <= dp[i — 1][s — j]. Now you know that the number you are looking for has digit j in this position and can do the same process for i — 1 until getting to i == 0.

              Awesome idea!! You must have a deep understanding in dp. The way you formulate dp[i][j] really surprised me (dp in dp)! Learned a lot from your word and code.

              But I think n >= dp[i — 1][s — j] should be n <= dp[i — 1][s — j]. Is that right?

              Thanks for the detailed explanation. As a follow-up question: why do we need to exclude the numbers that have the same prefix and digit j in position i (n -= dp[i-1][s-j])?

                In this way to code dp on digits, you fix a prefix and look for the next digit. If you are looking for the n-th number and there are more than less dp[i-1][s-j] < n numbers, the next digit will be j+1 or higher and you are looking for n — dp[i-1][s-j] numbers.

              @tfg, I finally managed to understand your solution (not really intuitive). I think it would have helped to mention the following:

              1) The last (leftmost) digit is being set to the value of "j".

              2) The last coloumn (index = 10) in the constructed table is not exactly similar in meaning as the others. It seems that it is a sum of the number of all 1 to i-digit numbers with sum of digits = 10.

              For example, i = 3, j = 10, dp[i][j] = 63 (which is not the total number of 3-digit numbers with sum = 10).

              Also, is there a simple approach to come up with this intuition ?

                You seem to have missed the part that I said "dp[i][s] = number of numbers with i digits (leading 0-s counts) and sum of digits s", "leading 0-s counts"

                A simple approach to come up with this intuition is solving digit dp problems.

    Java programs inherently use more memory than C/C++ programs. Using System.gc() might help (it recommends invoking the garbage collector, but just like inline functions in C, there is no guarantee that it will happen).

        That's the thing, the java garbage collector is invoked whenever it "thinks" there's some memory to free, but that may not be immediately apparent to it (how does it know for sure you won't be needing this bit of memory in the future?). System.gc() doesn't invoke an "external Garbage Collector", it invokes the normal java garbage collector (or at least it recommends its invocation), but it invokes it NOW (at the point of the instruction), not when the system finds it necessary.

        I've had some problems in the past where a well-placed System.gc() made the difference between MLE and Accepted (I've also had situations where using that instruction made things worse... the gc is just very unpredictable).

        As for your second question, on some online judges there ARE actually different memory limits for Java :). There might also be some problems on codeforces which have different memory limits (not sure). Just not this one :)

    By the way, in the Java solution you use LinkedList to store the graph, whereas in the C++ solution you use vector, which is the equivalent of ArrayList in java. Not the same thing :). Linked lists inherently occupy more memory (there's pointers to be stored in addition to the data).

    I've replaced LinkedList with ArrayList in your solution and it got accepted. As a general rule of thumb, never use linked lists unless you specifically need them for something (for example, deletion of elements form the middle).

The k=1 case in problem C does hurt lol. Got hacked, though my code is fairly straightforward still.

Also, is it a right way to solve D by merging strongly-connected components into one node and do the calculations? Just discussed with my friend and I haven't tried this approach.

    In D, if you have a SCC of size > 1 then you have a cycle and just output -1. In the other case, every SCC must have size = 1 so there is no need to "merge" them, because is the same as using the original nodes.

    So for your answer, I think it is valid but it is unnecesary :p

    To print double you should use %f format specifier in printf due to floating point promotion in functions with variable number of arguments (printf is such a function). So I just deleted 'l' in "%lf" in printf and got AC: 34779977

      Rev. 3   Проголосовать: нравится 0 Проголосовать: не нравится

      %lf is the correct format specifier for double

      %f is the format specifier for float

      Floating point promotion means float gets promoted to double, which means you should always use %lf instead of %f (not the other way around). However, for that very reason, (for printf at least) %f is exactly the same as %lf. It's not that %lf doesn't work due to promotion, it's that %f ALSO works due to promotion.

      The above code works just fine (I submitted it and got ac, with %lf, just like it was posted). No need to modify anything.

      EDIT: I'm talking about C++ 11 and later (I don't know the standard all that well for previous iterations). As I'm typing this it occurs to me the question was not meant for C++, but for C and it seems like %lf for printf does indeed cause undefined behavior for C90 standard and lower (but codeforces uses newer standard, so the posted code still gets accepted even with C compiler).

        What I've written is just a simple way to remember where to use %f and where to use %lf. But the best way to remember that is to learn it.

        I was talking about C11 standard of language C. I chose this standard because first submission of vivekchandela2 for this task used exactly this standard. Here you can check it: 34744000.

FOR PROBLEM B hehe i stuck in the optimisation for this code ignoring that brute force can be run easily for this code ..i was just trying that for a no < 100 starting from ...

19 add 9 for every no to be build which is a perfect positive integer and for 91

ADD 18 to get 109 then again add 9 .... to get the last 190 then add again 18 to obtain 208 then add 9..... finally till now the factor which we are adding to obtain next term is 18 ..now when 208 is added with 9 so and so on till 280 is reached then increment factor with 9 and add 280+(18+9) since prev value of factor is 18 update it to 18+9

to obtain 307 goes till this series

until the last series becomes like this 901 910 then here factor will be 81

but for next term add (81 not with 9 but with 18) to get 910+(81+18) = 1009

then make factor -> 0 and again keep adding 9 to the nos till 1090 is reached then do the above firstly mentioned steps .. that is 1090+(factor+18) to get 1108 then add successivley 9 til 1180 is not reached and then factor will always be updated by 9 that is 1180+(value of factor till here +9) to get new value of next term having sum = 10

perform this till the new 2 term series is not obtained .. I have observe many things about numbers regarding this question but i am so sure some of the cases might not fit in my factor adding approach because in some cases i observed like 1801 1810 (when series like this ) i cant add 1810+(val of factor till here + 18) since it will not yield me the perfect positive integer some other cases also are hot handled by my optimisation but i want that someone plzz understand this and can do further optimise it without using brutforce till 1000000000000(as an estimate no)

Because this code will runs in O(k) iterations rather than some large estimate . Plzz ignore me if i said something wrong . plzz give feedback thnkss

There should be a nice and fairly easy solution for problem E with generators (prime roots). We know which power of g is a, which one is g, so we are just left with a simple congruence on exponents. Finding stuff can be done in O (p) instead of writing some sqrt algorithms, because p is nice

      Time complexity is about infinitely large inputs, so you can't just say "it's considered" to be a constant. Though in this problem, it's indeed quite trivial, but it's still an O (answer * log (answer)) solution.

        If the input is infinitely large, I don't think we should worry about complexity at all. It will just take infinite time not matter what the complexity is.

        My point was that since the base is 10; its even smaller factor than our regular log2n

          That's right. The factor is really small. However, mouse_wireless was talking about the complexity, not how much actual time it takes within the input range, and that is what it means.

          Time complexity is about how the time "asymptotically increases" as the input increases infinitely. Therefore, it's about the algorithm itself, not about the actual time consumed for "some" inputs.

          Bubble sort has worst case complexity of O(N^2). You can say that if N is like 3, the factor is very small so you can almost ignore it. But no matter what that N is, it doesn't change that the complexity of bubble sort is still O(N^2), because it's the property of the algorithm itself.

          I see your point but you should choose correct words.

    You are correct too, next line in the editorial explains your result.

    You equation becomes: j = b.a^-j + i*p (mod p)

    Edit: no this is wrong, should be j = b.a^-j + (p+i) (mod p) (editorial is clearer now)

    Now read the next line in the editorial:

    the possible i can only be b·a - j, p + b·a - j, ..., p·t + b·a - j. Then we can calculate how many possible answers n in this situation (i.e. decide the maximum possible t using the given upper bound x).

My solution here for B is

34769949

First, let’s binay search the answer x

Then our job is to check if there are more than k perfect numbers less than x

Let f(i,j) represent for the previous i digits, the sum is j, how many numbers can we have. Which is a classical digital dp.

I was retarded during the contest and thought k was smaller than 1e5, that’s why I solved B last and didn’t work out E, R.I.P.

Why my code for D is giving wrong answer in TC 7. I used dfs to count the frequency in every path. In the worst case scenerio my code should give TLE, but I can not comprehend why it is giving me wrong answer. Here is my implementation.

            this is my implementation.

            So basically you try to count for every letter what is the maximum number of times can appear in any path starting at node u. And the maximum is the answer.

Problem E was such a nice number-theory problem for beginners :D

»
6 лет назад, # |
Rev. 4   Проголосовать: нравится +5 Проголосовать: не нравится

In problem E, the 'looping' mentioned in the editorial mod p(p - 1) can be proved.

From Euler's Theorem, , for any integer n. Since φ(p) = p - 1, we only need to consider powers of a ranging from 0 to p - 2. This gives us two congruences:

This system of congruences then has a unique solution mod p(p-1)), by the Chinese Remainder Theorem, which gives us the 'looping'.

Edit: Fixed formatting and notation: Fermat's Little Theorem -> Euler's Theorem.

Edit 2: The proof also gives a way to solve the problem using the Chinese Remainder Theorem, which is slightly different from the method mentioned in the editorial in its approach.

The idea follows directly from above: for each $i$ from 0 to p - 2 the above system of congruences can be solved uniquely mod p(p - 1), and the contribution of each of these to the final answer can be counted easily.

See 34764463.

      Actually, it will always be p(p - 1). Check my comment above for the details.

      If the period was less than that, it would mess up the counting.

        No, sometimes it repeats with period p*(p-1)/2 as well. Just check with 7 as P and 3 as A. And it won’t mess up your counting as it definitely repeats after p*(p-1) as well (coz divisible).

          Huh. You're right, period p(p - 1) / 2 does occur sometimes too. My bad, then.

          Your example is a bit wrong though. p = 7 and a = 3 still gives a period of p(p - 1). Instead, p = 11 and a = 3 gave me a period of p(p - 1) / 2.

              7 and 2 does indeed give a period of p(p - 1) / 2.

              And yeah, counting doesn't get messed up because we're doing the counting mod p(p - 1) no matter what, so repeats within that will be counted separately.

        Well, not all of your data structures are static. You have set ms; and you insert n elements in it, so in the first cases there is enough memory for your program. Why 1e6? You have ll dp[SIZE][30]; So you allocated 30 * SIZE = 3 * 1e7.

    no , it can't be solved using DFS only. Take for example a graph with edges :1->2 , 2->3, 2->5, 3->4 , 4->6. As in DFS you only visit a vertex ONCE , the vertex 6 won't have the frequency table of 5 in it. the way i solved it was for every node , find the frequency table of its parent(s) and record the maximum. my code is kind of messy but the function you want to see is the dfs one. code : 34804264
